1 INITIATIVE FOR THE INTEGRATION OF REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN SOUTH AMERICA IIRSA Integration Priority Project Agenda (API, in Spanish) Features and Criteria i Procedures for its Set Up Meeting of the COSIPLAN Coordination Committee g Rio de Janeiro, April 28, 2011

2 Contents API Features and Development Criteria Case Study - Example Process for the Set Up of API

3 Features and Criteria

4 API Features The development of integration infrastructure is a tool for sustainable economic, social and environmental development. The Agenda is made up of projects which may be national, binational or multinational with a high impact on the physical integration of the region. The twelve countries are represented, and there is a balance in the number of projects promoted by each of them.

5 API Features The projects are selected by consensus on the basis of predefined criteria. The projects seek that the increase in the different transportation modes be viable and suitable.

6 API Features The priority it projects may be supported by actions in the regulatory and territorial planning fields, creating a Territorial Integration Program (PTI, in Spanish). A selection will be made of ongoing projects included in AIC (Implementation Agenda Based on Consensus 1) to add them to API, provided d that t they meet the criteria i applied to the API.

7 Criteria for the Selection of Priority Projects 1. Projects must belong to the COSIPLAN Project Portfolio, be a priority in government action, be supported by the commitment to accomplish them (which is evidenced by the allocation of funds through multi-year financing programs, by the legislation passed, the budget measures taken, etc.). 2. Feasibility studies must be available, or the country has allocated the necessary funds for their implementation. 3. They strengthen connectivity networks that are regional in scope, and involve cross-border synergies. 4. There e exists an opportunity ty or a need to take complementary e actions intended to promote efficient service provision and the sustainable development of the territory, according to the characteristics and modality of each specific project.

12 Significance and Characteristics of the Project Brief overview of the main elements of the project, especially of its expected benefits and of its mid-term potential (in terms of both production and integration). H thi t ti l i t th t How this potential scenario compares to the current status.

13 Does It Meet the Selection Criteria? 1. Evidence that the project is a priority in government action. Is it included in development plans? national laws? Is there a broad consensus on the project?

14 Does It Meet the Selection Criteria? 2. Are feasibility studies available? Breadth and detail of the available studies

15 Feasibility Study Highlight the main costs and benefits identified by the feasibility study. What the risks of the project are environmental, economic, social, technical, financial.

16 Does It Meet the Selection Criteria? 3. Does it strengthen networks with a regional scope? Does the project/program include regional integration and connectivity elements? What is its synergy with other cross-border projects? Is specific coordination required?

21 Towards the Development of API

22 API ( ) 1. Development of the Agenda (2011) Consensual selection of the projects based on the update of COSIPLAN Project Portfolio. 2.
